Think of a table as being within the page rather than the reverse; pages
will break naturally, but you can to some extent control them (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm). You can
actually wrap graphics much better in a table than you can in a text box
(you can't at all in a text box because it's already in the drawing layer).

What if I need to insert graphics (pictures, diagrams), can I do text
wrap/run around, can I insert page breaks and other things within a Table
cell?

By the way, word.mvp.org is great! I found several hints and tips so far.
Congratulation

Yes, tables can flow to as many pages as needed (though Word will work
better if you break long tables periodically). Note that Word has a firm
limitation on the number of linked text boxes (32).

Thanks Graham for the notification. I will look into the table
suggestion
from CyberTaz.
Can it automatically reflow over multiple pages?

Looking through some templates, I found another way using text
blocks
and linking them from page to page. This way the text will
automatically flow and readjust from one page to another as I edit
text, format and column height. I know Word is not recommended for
such page layout, but it is the format specified by most
conferences
for technical papers.

Your best bet in Word is to create a 2 column table. If the
document
is going to be more than one page (as it probably will) you might
want to read up on the use of tables in Help. Knowledge of
Sections
will also be useful, as well as a numbner of other features of
the
program.

It may sound time-consuming, but you will be far better off in
the
long run if you learn to put the document together using the
appropriate techniques *before* you get started on the content.
Otherwise you will most likely run into obstacles which may cause
you to 'tear it up' & start from scratch.
